Let's Bee Crafty!

Hello and Happy Thursday Everyone...I hope you are all enjoying this beautiful day! The sun is shining, the air conditioning is blasting and life is good! I made a different type of card today, a new style for me. It's called a kick-stand card. I've seen them before, just never ventured to make one, until today!

It's simple really! It just means that the card front is shorter than the back (on purpose!) and your focal panel extends over the edge! Though when lying flat it appears as a normal front panel, ahhh, and there's another little secret on this card! See that small pale yellow ribbon protruding from behind the scallop frame....
...it's a little hidden message! Ok, obviously, I was having fun with this card, but hey, that's what it's all about right? And how could I not have fun with this wonderfully cute image from Bee Crafty!!! I just love it! I paper pieced her with these lovely K&co paper, the hat and bird too! The cardstock is SU! baja and pretty in pink! I added a fun embossed flower and used my square nesties to create the rectangle by layering them to just the right size! The flowers and brad are all twinkly with glitter!
This fun card is going to someone who needs a little encouragement...a reminder to keep looking up...where our help comes from!!! ....where our joy comes from!! ....where our peace comes from!!!
